Invitation to Joy:
An Ingathering Celebration!
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
Our Ingathering is a special annual service inviting us all to return to the home of our souls, our precious Chalice community. Today we offer an invitation to joy, inviting you to experience joy in your lives, in our community, service and celebration. We will hold our annual water ceremony and enjoy a pizza party and ice cream social after service. Join us to bring a smile to your face!

Join our Chalice community for a joyful celebration! Be sure to stop by the RE table to say hi to Sam, win a prize play Plinko, and try guessing at how many M&Ms are in the jar. See you there!
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.

In an effort to obtain permissions for photography and videography at Chalice and Chalice events, we are reintroducing our media release form. You can find this form through Breeze. We will also have paper copies available at the RE table during the Ingathering celebration on September 8. The Social Media Team is working on updating our photo policy.
